Russian Leadership
Help shape tomorrow with our Russian Leadership Division, a group of caring Russian Jewish professionals in their 20s, 30s, and 40s. Created to unite and strengthen the community while giving back to help others in need, the Russian Leadership Division offers innovative programming, exclusive events, and rewarding volunteer opportunities.
We keep people like you informed on issues affecting the entire Jewish community here in New York, in Israel, in the former Soviet Union, and around the world.
